Probably. Is there some way to set it to default to "if 8-bit,
iso-8859-1; if 7-bit, us-ascii"? I'll admit that the mailer I'm using
right now keeps setting 8bit on us-ascii, for no apparent reason.

In other words, for one_loop, if the priority of an asynchronous event
is 5 or less, it will be queued before finding out if there are any
non-async events available. If it is above, it will only be queued
after finding out if there are any non-async events available.
Hmm... it seems to make more sense to do things as follows:
1. Queue asyncronous events (signals, etc).
2. If there are any events with priority 5 or less (see StarvePrio),
and there are non-async, non-timeout possible events with a
priority equal to or less than the lowest async event priority, do
poll/select with a 0 timeout. Upon return, queue all pending
events, and service the lowest-priority event (with priority 5 or
less), then return.
3. Calculate the maximum wait time (minimum time till the next timer
expiration) and pass control to the poll/select system call. Upon
return, queue all pending events.
4. Queue asyncronous events again.
5. If there are any events then service the next one and return.
6. Service the next idle watcher.
